Ready for some out-of-this-world fun? The Estes Star Hopper model rocket might look like something from science fiction, but the excitement it delivers is very real! This beginner-friendly rocket can soar up to 400 feet high, making it perfect for backyard launches or small field demonstrations. The streamer recovery system means you get to watch an 18-inch streamer deploy at the peak of flight, slowing the descent and making it easy to track and recover your rocket. Assembly is straightforward with the twist-on engine retainer that makes loading engines quick and simple (engines sold separately, by the way). The wider body tube means packing the ejection wadding and streamer is a breeze, so you'll be launch-ready in no time. Whether you're introducing kids to rocketry, looking for a fun STEM activity, or just want to relive that childhood excitement of watching something you built fly high, the Star Hopper delivers. It's durable enough for multiple launches and the classic design looks awesome on the launch pad. Perfect for school projects, family fun days, or anyone who's ever looked up at the sky and dreamed of launching their own spacecraft. Just add engines, launch controller, and recovery wadding (sold separately) and you're ready for countdown!
